After 17 years as Senior Producer at Performing Lines TAS, the widely respected Annette Downs has walked away from working in the arts in order to focus on her partner’s well-being.
‘I was in rehearsals for Hide the Dog in Sydney just before Christmas, leading into the Sydney Festival season at the Opera House, and my partner got an awful diagnosis – and thank the Lord, Performing Lines were so great. They found a substitute producer and I was able to do the last three days, just to wrap up and set up, and then I was able to come home and focus on family,’ Downs explains.
